If you’re new to my channel, my name is Alex Hormozi. I’m the founder and managing partner of Acquisition.com. It’s a family office, which is just a formal way of saying we invest our own money into companies. Our 10 portfolio companies bring in over $200,000,000+ per year. Our ownership stake varies between 20% and 100% of them. Given this is a YT channel, and anyone can claim anything, I’ll give you some stuff you can google to verify below.
How I got here…
21: Graduated Vanderbilt in 3 years Magna Cum Laude, and took a fancy consulting job.
23 yrs old: Left my fancy consulting job to start a business (a gym).
24 yrs old: Opened 5 gym locations.
26 yrs old: Closed down 6th gym. Lost everything.
26 yrs old: Got back to launching gyms (launched 33). Then, lost everything for a 2nd time.
26 yrs old: In desperation, started licensing model as a hail mary. It worked.
27 yrs old: "Gym Launch" does $3M profit the next 6 months. Then $17M profit next 12 months.
28 yrs old: Started Prestige Labs. $20M the first year.
29 yrs old: Launched ALAN, a software company for agencies to work leads for customers. Scaled to $1.7mmo within 6 months.
31 yrs old: Sold 75% of UseAlan to a strategic buyer in an all stock deal.
31 yrs old: Sold 66% of Gym Launch & Prestige Labs at $46.2M valuation in all-cash deal to American Pacific Group. (you can google it)
31 yrs old: Started our family office Acquisition.com. We invest and scale companies using the $42M in distributions we had taken + the cash from the $46.2M exit.
32 yrs old: Started making free content showing how we grow companies to make real business education accessible to everyone (and) to attract business owners to invest or scale their businesses.
34 yrs old: I became co-owner of Skool.com to help the many people who want to start a business online do so.
Today: Our portfolio now does $200M/yr between 10 companies. The largest doing $100M/yr the smallest doing $5M per year. Our ownership varies between 20% and 100% ownership of the companies. Many of them we invested in early and helped grow (which is how we make our money - not youtube videos).
To all the gladiators in the arena, we’re all in the middle of writing our own stories. The worse the monsters, the more epic the story.
You either get an epic outcome or an epic story. Both mean you win.
Keep crushing. May your desires be greater than your obstacles.
Never quit,
Alex
FULL DISCLOSURE
I make content to make money - just - on a longer time horizon than most. I want to build trust with business owners so we can find the best ones and help them scale. And if they’re awesome, write them a check and go all the way as partners.

Alex is like a therapist for entrepreneurs

[@jenninemorel7693]

He's the hard-core older brother we didn't know we needed 😂

[@PNGtwentyfour]

This advice is simply true. I'm 18 months into my business and it's now starting to take off. I had to just consistently show up every morning at 5AM for months and months.

[@AidenWrightLifts]

What business? A gym? 5AM sounds early haha

[@PNGtwentyfour]

[@Chadpritai]

How much hours you work on avg and did you take weekends and how many months you worked?

[@clarteel]

I agree

[@lewissteiner-dr9jg]

5 am? Milking cows? Oh that's 4 am Getting up that early is almost like doing the night shift. 😢😅

[@MIA-BladeOfEternity]

Indeed, this is the man who makes honest content - it's genuine, helpful and relatable. But it also provides new knowledge. Amazing 👍

[@BenjaminOwenSlattery]

It’s good to persist with no cookie, but how do you make sure you’re persisting in something that actually moves the ball forward eventually?

[@RedRockingBird]

Spot on…this is life, I feel better about not needing that 5 year plan my business degree friend really wants me to have! Thanks Alex, loving all your content

[@dooble112]

A good book to read on this topic is The One Thing by Gary W. Keller

Delay your gratification and you can walk to the moon and back without ever knowing you were on a mission.
